being of scientific mind and a Christian, it always puzzled me that if this is a choice, does it occur in the wild because of choice? Long before this penguin thing, I learned in Animal Pyschology that geese for instance have exhibited homosexual behavior for as long as they have been studied....now I learned this back the late 1970's as an undergrad and there was no real bias at the time towards that idea nor where I went to school was there any widespread liberal bias......just curious as to why this occurs in nature.......
Just because some animals simulate sex with members of the same sex, or actually perform some sort of same sex act, no light is shed on human behavior or morality.
Many animals eat their own young, others' young, eat excrement, never wear clothes, they never ever grow food or cook it, only some are monogamous, they often commit incest with mothers/fathers/sisters/brothers/sons/daughters, and no animals ever question their purpose or meaning of life. They have no religious beliefs, philosophy, or morality.
So just because some animals jump on members of the same sex we should emulate them?
Oh, if I were a betting man, I would suspect there is a natural cause --- because gay activity exists in nature.
Of course, lots of destructive and stupid things exist in nature.
"Natural" is not necessarily good. Arsenic, cyanide, and pufferfish poison are natural.
The issuse is: "Can this tendancy be overcome?" And I think it it a horrible thorn no one would volunarily choose.
That said, they may have to be like Paul and live celebate.
Or, through prayer and hard work, just like every former drunk (including our President) beat this horrible thorn.
